Three A’s and an F. Known as “four notes that changed the world” according to many scholars, or also known as the beginning to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. We’ve all heard it. We know it.
– Yesterday, my wife and I had the opportunity to connect with other life group leaders within the Young Adults ministry at Fellowship, and listened to Brent Crenshaw teach for a few moments. Something he said stuck out to me:
– “It’s the white space between the notes that help make the music.”
– It had never occured to me that the white space in between the notes help establish the necessary spacing in order for the composition to go smoothly. No one really ever pays attention to the white space between the notes, becuase it’s all about the notes and how they come together.
– But without the white space between the notes, the Fifth would probably sound like 30-40 minutes of notes rear-ending each other in a never ending crash. Chaotic.
– Things are happening between the notes (like space/time/rest), but we just don’t see it or forget the importance that the white space between the notes holds.

Don’t negate the work God is doing in between the big things in your life. Sometimes, it is in the quiet space in life that God speaks the loudest. It’s been true for me. With the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit, the work that is done in the white space between the notes should not be dismissed or looked over. Keep at it. Don’t give up. In other words, stay the course, keep the faith, and fight the good fight. Take this truth and run with it today!

COT:
I’ve had a few times where I’ve been challenged with some unexpected changes that have directly affected my and my families lives.

It’s natural for most of us to immediately respond emotionally whether externally or internally, and to start thinking of defensive measures or responses. But..if were honest…how often do we smile and think of how great an opportunity it is for our spiritual life or that we’re blessed with another challenge?

While that may not be normal for anyone, think about where you turn for support? Do you vent or call a specific person that you think will give you the answer you want to hear? How long does it take you to come to the prayer?

If our faith is Luke-warm or we don’t have a solid foundation, is not difficult to be affected by small challenges/storms.

It’s all like prepping and practicing…when something sudden and unexpected happens, the natural instant is based on what thoughts and muscles you frequently have or use.

1 Corinthians 15:58
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Two years ago, Lazy Boy and I started a company with a few friends. We make smoked cherries, smoked cherry syrup and a redonk smoked cherry reduction. They’re delicious and totally transform food, drinks and desserts.

We are praying that the Lord will use this company to transform the lives of some folks here in East TN as well. The vision includes employing folks that are difficult to employ, paying people well that normally can’t make much money. Lord willing, eventually we will build a manufacturing facility in one of our under-educated and under-employed sister counties and committing to better the lives of generations of employees.

It’s a big dream. We like money, but we love the Lord and are trying to run our company as if it is His company.

What part of your life should you be living less for yourself and more to the Lord?

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

With everything you do, remember that you are not just serving a client, a patient, your wife, your family, but it is the Lord who receives all that we do.

Also when thinking about your WHY for coming to F3 in the morning, what is your purpose and goal. Think back to your first Q and the joy/difficulty that it brought to know that you are making a difference for yourself. The challenge is to focus on 3S2T (Strength, Stamina, Speed and Toughness: Mental and Physical). Some days you may be able to focus on 1 or 2 and others your can strive for all 5, but whatever you do, just get 1% better.

Prayers for all in attendance and those who couldn’t make it. Prayer requests for Haggis closing on home in 45 minutes.
